But man, oh man, do not try to chisel him out of a fare! We learn that lesson the hard way in this week's Friday Night Fights!
A gang of jewel thieves is trying to keep Hack away from his usual cab stand, so they can park their getaway car there for the big job.
Brilliant plan...but then they have to go and get cheap...
Spacebooger would like to mention that the crooks were pretty stupid, because if they just paid the $2.85, they'd have gotten away with the heist!! Cheapness never pays!!
The rage of a stiffed cabbie comes from Crack Comics #40 (1945), by Vernon Henkel
Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? Look, you don't want to make Hack O'Hara mad again, do you? Do you? So go and vote!!

Try stiffing him, and you get the Tire Iron Of Justice for all your troubles.
The way it was intended.
And, beyond anything else, if they just got one of their gang (or an accomplice) to have Hack drive them somewhere – and pay him accordingly – they'd get the spot they need AND not have him as a witness who could identify them as anyone untoward.
As it is now, even if the crime went forth otherwise, the folks who O'Hara went up against here would be going away, which could have been solved had the original fellow brought his wallet in lieu of a gun (presuming that the robbery in question meant to net far more than $2.85)...
